the VCR of the future

While spending a few hundred dollars to invest in a Tivo player isn't on the top of everyones list of things to do, it does save a ton of time, effort, and aggravation if your looking tape things on television a lot. If your like me, then you have a busy schedule and have kids who want to watch their shows on tv or aren't there to watch them. Instead of having everyone in my family argue over who should be able to watch what our on big screen television, now we can tape multiple shows and watch them later. This feature has saved me so much aggravation and offered the ability to watch sports and my favorite shows whenever I want. I don't even know how I would possibly put a price value on this, because its so simple that my kids even use to it tape what they want (and I can't even get them to clean their rooms)

The Benefits:
-Works for 140 hours of digital audio or television!!! 140 hours worth of space (140gb) is a ton of television, digital music, or digital photos. This allows you to not only plan shows our weeks in advance, but it also allows you to save shows for as long as you want and replay exciting or important television shows, sports, or movies
-Everything required for installation in supplied
-TiVo Box takes up practically no room (15 x 11.5 x 3")
-2 USB ports offers the ability to send digital music and photos from computer to a TiVo, which my wife has used to store photos on the TiVo.
-offers interactive capabilities with television
-one touch recording
-picture-in-picture
-slow motion feature
-advanced programming
-composite, audio, and S-video inputs and outputs
-Pause live tv (probably my favorite feature)

Negative

For a few hundred dollars, I'd easily recommend the TiVo system; I know it is one of the best investments I have made in the past few years.
